The rest of last week

Friday was time for Tombstone and Tucson (too-s-on). Tombstone is an old town in the south of Arizona, near the border with Mexico. It was a silver mining town and has alot of history! Too much to say so have a read here.

On the way we stopped at the Casa Grande National Monument. I was disappointed as it was hard to photograph. The position of the sun and the roof over the monument just made it almost impossible.

In Tombstone we went to watch a gun fight at the OK Corral. It was good but hard to photograph. The noise from the guns was very very loud and the drama was a little overdone. It was like watching kids in some parts. The rest of Tombstone was fun. Plenty of old shops with traditional items for sale.

Friday night was spent in Tucson and on Saturday morning we went to the Pima Air and Space Museum. There were tonnes of planes and the B-52 bombers were huge. Not as big as I thought they would be though. But anything that needs 8 jet engines must be heavy! The B-17G and the SR-71 blackbird were magnificent.
